Footy: Lock, Stock & Barrel

NOT just another football Blog

10 reasons why this season is so bleeding exciting:

1. It has been a season for DEFENDERS. The top 5 clubs share the most number of clean sheets. A whopping 59. (Vidic for PFA)

2. The title race is between 4 clubs and not the usual 2 - Manchester United & Chelsea. Liverpool & Villa entering the foray.

3. The bottom 8 clubs are separated by an average of 2 points.

4. Aston Villa's brilliant run. They have earned 16 points from a maximum of 18. Villa are behind United, who have won the last 6 games.

5. Tim Cahill's "mind blasting" headers

6. Rafa's "crazy" rant/s

7. Hull City's flash in the pan act. Started off brilliant but now have lost the last 6 matches.

8. "The other club" in Manchester's spanking rich owner(s) who have spent close to 80 million pounds in player transfers so far (and had a 100 million pound bid for Kaka rejected)

9. Roman Abramovich losing close to 12 BILLION pounds in the global crisis.

10. Van der Sar & Manutd's clean sheet record.
